“Clubs are determined to try and close the gap on Chelsea and to do so I think some of the top ones may well do business.

“I think Chelsea will do business – as I speak to you I think they're looking at bringing in a wing-back and also cover for Thibaut Courtois so by the time deadline day comes around there may well be Craig Gordon from Celtic as cover goalkeeper.

“But yes I think there will be business and in the Championship too – I think we're in for a busy time.”

He said: “I have become unassumingly a bit of an Everton fan – that is pretty well known out there.

“I got pretty friendly with the new majority shareholder there Farhad Moshiri and I've been watching because I think Evertonians are very excited about Moshiri and what he'll do and they're very excited about who they will bring in.

“I know Moshiri and Bill Kenwright are working on a few things so I'd like Everton to come in with some decent names.

“I'd like to see Everton do some business and I like Chelsea as well – I think what they're doing under Conte is fantastic and I know Chelsea are trying to get a wing-back so I'd be happy to report that – that would be a good story.

“And Leicester – can they dig themselves out of the trouble they're in? I loved what they did last season but I think they need to reinforce to make themselves safe more than anything else.”
